Transit Policy and COVID-19
Free Transit Ottawa
Public transit is an essential service. In the midst of a pandemic it is also a particularly dangerous one for transit workers and transit users. The City of Ottawa has tried to strike the right balance, but more needs to be done. Free Transit Ottawa calls on the Mayor and City Council to immediately take the following steps:
1. Formally suspend

We must act fast to stop construction
r33
Hi there,
I just got off the phone with renowned environmental activist Winona La Duke. Canadian company Enbridge has begun construction of the dirty Line 3 tar sands oil pipeline stretching from Alberta to Wisconsin – and Winona and her allies have asked for our help to stop it.
Construction may be underway, but opposition is stronger than ever too. Last week, 22 water protectors were arrested for resisting construction.
Joe Biden has the power to review the permits granted by Trump and can still halt construction on this destructive pipeline. But he won’t do it without an unprecedented wave of public pressure.
Will you add your voice to the powerful movement rising up against Line 3 and sign the petition calling on Biden

A,
I think we can all agree: 2020 has been a difficult and exhausting year.
But somehow you didn't let that stop you. Even in this time of crisis, you got to work and took on some of the biggest companies in the world.
That’s right, A. When we looked back at the year, one name kept showing up again and again: Yours.
By signing petitions, making phone calls, donating and rallying politicians and CEOs on social media, you’ve made a real difference. You’ve protected orangutans from dirty palm oil, stopped Bayer from selling more bee-killers, and helped defend the Great Barrier Reef from one of the most toxic coal mines in the world.
But we can’t stop here there’s too much at stake in 2021: Bayer is already gearing up to get a new license for glyphosate, banks are still funding the climate crisis, and corporate executives everywhere are looking for new

So nice to meet you.

PAOV,
You probably haven't seen my name in your inbox before, that's because I work as the team lead for 350 here in Japan.
I'm reaching out to you today to first say thank you. Since I started at 350, I have seen our movement blossom in every corner of the world, and I am continuously inspired by the campaigns my teammates are spearheading in Canada.
PAOV, this has been a huge year for us here on the Japan team, so I wanted to share a few highlights about one of our biggest campaigns:
- First, we identified three of Japan's major banks as the top three lenders to coal developers worldwide.
- Then, we mobilized into action. We called on Japan’s three megabanks — Mitsubishi (MUFG), Sumitomo (SMBC), and Mizuho — to completely phase out financing for coal-fired power and establish a fossil fuel phase out strategy aligned with

Challenges Ahead: The US Left and Labour After Trump
With the results of the presidential and congressional elections in the US, a series of questions have come to the fore for the North American left. How far – or how little – will Biden overturn the policies of Trump? What is the state of the socialist left, particularly the various groupings within and around the Democratic Socialists of America? What are the challenges and openings for building a base of socialists in the working class, and engaging

Leo Panitch and the Socialist Project
Stephen Maher
The death of Leo Panitch has made the world a darker place. His writings have carried us through some of the most difficult periods in the history of the socialist left, as wave after wave of the neoliberal onslaught broke workers’ organizations, serving up one defeat after the next. Leo’s work sustained so many of us during these years,
